Hi Paul,
Is there a way to get FF to minimise when an application is compiled and run?
If not, can you add this feature to your maybe list?
Many Thanks
It's on "the list", but maybe Paul will elaborate to what extent he will incorporate it. It's suggested that FF get's a enviroenment option to hide itself after compilation, or when just running the previous compiled executable. Then, when the application closes, it would automatically pop back.

Currently, there is no built-in way to do this. Sorry.

Sure. No problem.
This feature has now been added to FireFly as an "Environment Option". When set, FireFly will minimize immediately before the compiled program is about to execute. This will be available in Version 1.08.
Many thanks, I look forward to the new version. I am starting to get to grips with PB now.
Is FF poping back up after termination of the called application too. Or is that further down on the maybe list?

Nope. I don't know how I would implement such a feature?
Not sure how you are starting the program externally after the compile but in a nut shell...
If you do the following it may work...
Minimize FF
Asynchronous shell to Program
Exit Program
Restore FF
If you do a syncronous shell then you would just have to keep a monitor loop on the started application with WaitForSingleObject.
